About the book: Lazarus Awakening Getting God’s Love from Our Heads to Our Hearts
You believe that God loves the world…but sometimes you wonder if He truly loves you.
For many of us, moving the truth of God’s love from our heads to our hearts is a lifelong process. As we consider our inadequacies or grieve our shattered dreams, we find it difficult to believe that God cares for us personally.
In this life-giving book, Joanna Weaver shows you how to embrace the truth that Jesus loves you apart from anything you accomplish, apart from anything you bring. Just as He called Lazarus forth to new life, Jesus wants to free you to live fully in the light of His love, unbound from the graveclothes of fear, regret, and self-condemnation.
Love is calling your name.
Combining unforgettable real-life illustrations with unexpected biblical insights, Joanna Weaver invites you to experience a spiritual resurrection that will forever change your understanding of what it means to be the one Jesus loves. Bible study and Leader’s Guide available here .
Review: A few years ago I read a wonder book that I still think about to this day; Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World. Once I come across an author who can pull me in and help me to grow in new ways, I like to keep up with their books. Fast forward many years later and here I am, reading another one of Joanna Weaver's books!
Throughout Lazarus Awakening I continually felt challenged to learn what it really means to be loved by God and to trust in his timing. He waited four days after he was told of his friends sickness. I'm sure Mary and Martha had hoped he would come immediately. I know when I ask for things I want an answer right away and am not patient for his perfect timing.
In her book Joanna mentions three rock-solid facts that we should all know and find comfort in.
- God is love- therefore I am loved.
- God is good- therefore I am safe
- God is faithful- therefore it's going to be okay.

In Lazarus Awakening
Joanna writes about getting God’s love from our heads to our hearts. We all know Jesus loved Mary – look how she worshiped. And we can understand why He loved Martha – after all, look how she served. But what about those of us who don’t know where we fit in the heart of God? Lazarus Awakening explores the tale of the third follower – Mary and Martha’s brother, Lazarus. We never hear him speak, we never see him serve. The only thing of any significance that Lazarus did was to die. And yet, the Bible is clear. Jesus loved Lazarus. And He loves you and me as well. Lazarus Awakening looks at different aspects of the story we find in John 11. We learn what it means to be a friend of God and begin recognizing the tombs we spend far too much time in.
